Join with small business owners from across the state in Lansing for our annual NFIB Michigan Small Business Day on Wednesday, April 24, 2024.
This will be a chance to come to downtown Lansing, meet with policy makers, and hear what is happening on the issues that matter most to your business. In addition to a program that we hope will be informative, interactive, and impactful, attendees will have an opportunity to directly lobby their lawmakers in the afternoon.
Remember – things are always changing, so please check back here for more details! Or better yet, register HERE and receive periodic updates. Registration is $25 per person and includes a light breakfast and lunch. Please contact Liz Roe, NFIB Grassroots Manager, with any questions.
